‘Excellent Buyer’

Jeremy Ashworth & Cantata Properties have purchased two sites through us and in both cases, the deals went through to completion as planned and promised. In a market place where property developers and landlords can chip away at price or or other aspects of the offer without good reason, Jeremy was honourable and stayed true to his word. In one of these purchases, he and I also had to contend with some volatile and unpredictable behaviour from the vendor, and throughout the process, Jeremy was calm, patient and respectful, and forged a strong relationship directly with the vendor and with us. His excellent communication and facilitation skills kept the deal alive in very difficult circumstances, and it is to his huge credit that we managed to complete successfully. He is the kind of property developer we love working with.

‘Reliable, Trustworthy’

I am approached almost every day by developers all trying to get preferential treatment and special favours, and all claiming to be terrific buyers. The fact is that there are an awful lot of charlatans in the business and as a result, I make a point of only dealing with a very select pool of a few developers, in which Cantata Properties are without doubt included. Jeremy & Marion are professional, do what they say they are going to do, and on a recent sensitive deal delivered on their promise to purchase within a set time period at the agreed price, with no nonsense, and with regular clear communication. This was most welcome and reassuring for both me and the owner.

‘Outstanding’

Cantata Properties have been at the vanguard of the co-living boutique style rooms market in Reading, and have stayed ahead of the competition due to their savvy vision & knowledge, whilst maintaining premium rents and low voids. Their offer is undoubtedly the best in town and I have personally witnessed them going from 0 to 50 rooms so seamlessly because they have every detail covered with processes for every facet of their business. Jeremy and Marion have been an absolute privilege to work with. They are honest, fair and loyal to whoever they work with, and believe in longevity of relationships. When difficulties have arisen, they have always been more than willing to work with our team rather than against us, working on the solution and not dwelling on the problem. They are highly competent, experienced and enjoyable people to work with.

‘Great Collaborators’

Jeremy from Cantata Properties has been a breath of fresh air when dealing with developers who are happy to openly collaborate and share ideas without agenda. We've shared contacts with one another, and Jeremy has put me in touch with professionals who we're looking to work with on future projects.

‘Great to work with’

I have been engaged as a contractor for over 10 projects with Cantata Properties, and have worked with them over the last 6 years. The long term relationship speaks volumes for the mutual trust that has developed during this time. Jeremy and Marion have great vision with their concepts and designs, are flexible if we suggest a different way of doing something, are direct & honest in their communication with us, and they always pay on time. I have the utmost respect for their professionalism and enjoy working with them immensely.
